This blog may at times appear to be rather cynical, sometimes comical (hence the pen name Gun Shy Tourist), and often critical in its evaluation and reporting. It may also include my musings on "criminal" politicians, religious fanatics who seek to change the American way of life, as well as personal self defense, weaponry, and other firearms and military related topics. The readers should be warned that this blog does not follow the politically correct narrative.

Let’s see Bloomberg explain this one

Friday’s Seattle Times update carried a brief story about a New York City police detective who had been charged with shooting his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend; not much of a story until one discovers who this guy was assigned to protect.

Does the name Michael Bloomberg ring a bell? He’s the anti-gun mayor of New York, the fellow who founded Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Only bad guys are supposed to get arrested for doing what one of his security detail is alleged to have done. You know, armed private citizens who have a difficult, if not impossible time getting a carry permit in the Big Apple. A longtime New York City detective assigned to Mayor Michael Bloomberg's security detail was charged Friday with shooting and injuring his girlfriend's ex-boyfriend in a confrontation this month.—Seattle Times

Maybe Bloomie should start a new organization called "Mayors Against Rogue Gun Carrying Bodyguard Employees".
